Mar. 19, 2008 - Considering how cold it has been over the past couple of
days and especially nights, I was surprised to see a pretty fresh-looking
road-killed SKUNK on Highway 101 just west of Coldbrook.
At 7 p.m. I watched loose flocks of CROWS flying high toward the southeast
over our Wolfville yard, heading toward their overnight roosting areas, and
several of the individuals showed MISSING PRIMARY FLIGHT FEATHERS; this
must indicate that at least some are actively MOULTING now.
Mar. 20, 2008 - Our feeder birds in Wolfville still include the
CLAY-COLOURED SPARROW (still tiny and very pale and easy to notice among the
others sparrows), the still-immature WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW (Martin Thomas
north of Port Williams also has at least one of this species), male and
female CARDINALS, 15+ junky JUNCOS, 5+ WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, plus
chickadees, mourning doves, crows, occasional blue jays, 1-2 red squirrels,
up to about 10 pheasants.
